The investigators assessed the efficacy and feasibility of such screening in primary care practice. key scientific questions: 1. The 95th and 99th percentile of finger blood TC in children of 2 years old. 2. Mutations that contribute to high TC status ( serum TC \>99th percentiles) compared with international FH48 panel for FH genetic screening.
